Do I look tired? Good, because I am. Actually tired is an understatement. The bags under my eyes make me look like I’m on drugs. I’m not. Those purple beauties were a gift passed down to me by a caring father.

I have been running on 6 hours of sleep a night, plus a 30 minute nap in the middle of the day when I take my “lunch break.” Oddly enough I used to do the same thing when I worked an office job. During my lunch hour I’d go out to my car, set my phone as an alarm, and pass out. The best part is that I worked at United Soccer Leagues, located in FL, right above a social security office. My Jeep Wrangler was the oldest, crappiest (hottest) car in the world and it didn’t have air conditioning. So I’d nap with all the windows down praying for the cool breeze that never came, just waiting for the day when I woke up next to random old man who’d left the S.S. offices and gotten into my car by mistake. I’m telling you, there were some characters walking around that parking lot!

Anyways, back to my lack of sleep. I know for some of you that’s a good night’s rest! I’m not like you people. Six hours is a nap for me. I need at least 10 consecutive hours to feel well-rested. And considering the fact that just three months ago I was sleeping an average of probably 14 hours a night…this is sheer madness! I hope I get used to this whole waking up early thing, it’s kind of a foreign concept to me. But I do like being busy and I like what I’m doing. It’s just hard to keep my eyes open while I’m doing it.
